If you loved Schoolgirl Complex, try Diary of a Shinjuku Thief
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Schoolgirl Complex, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Diary of a Shinjuku Thief is
A pickpocket's confession reads like a manga in this neon-soaked Tokyo quarter. A bookstore clerk with a side hustle in shoplifting crosses paths with a kabuki performer moonlighting as a thief. The trio's light-fingered romance lingers like cigarette smoke.
